Whisky Tasting: Glenfiddich with Mark Thomson

Little could William Grant, the founder of The Glenfiddich Distillery, have known as he watched the first pure spirit flow from his second-hand copper stills on Christmas Day 1887, that Glenfiddich would still be owned and run by his family over five generations later.

Over 125 years later, Glenfiddich’s range of single malts have become the most awarded whiskies in the world, a true reflection of the passion, integrity and pioneering spirit passed down through all five generations of William’s family.

This tasting will be hosted by Mark Thomson. Mark is one of the stars of the whisky industry. He was recently awarded Icons of Whisky Scotland Brand Ambassador of the Year 2018 and Dram Magazine awarded him "Smoothie of the Year". There will be some exceptional expressions of Glenfiddich for you to try under Mark's expert guidance.
